CREATIVE CURTAIN WALL Architect: Manuelle Gautrand Photographer: Vincent Fillon

GEODE / A COMPLETE CURTAIN WALLING SUITE GEODE is a comprehensive curtain walling suite offering designers high thermal performance to meet even the most stringent building regulations, and a wide range of aesthetic options based on a single system. The variety of curtain walling applications, uses the same mullion and transom grid, and enables designers to vary the external appearance of the building envelope whilst benefitting from the design and construction options of a fully integrated system. WHEN AESTHETICS MEET FUNCTIONALITY The GEODE system successfully combines the creative and visual...

geode / STRUCTURAL GLAZING mechanical structural glazing The GEODE mechanical structural glazing curtain walling is a technical design enabling the creation of fully glazed facades without attaching aluminium frames to the glazing. As an alternative to SSG (Structural Sealant Glazing) which uses traditional silicone sealant, the glazing for the fixed and opening sections is attached to the aluminium frame mechanically using special aluminium supports. From the outside, only the glazing and a thin gasket are visible. Projecting top-hung or parallel opening CONCEALED OPENING VENTS projecting top-hung...
